A/N: You gave me a great idea for a nice little third-parter, T/D. Don't want to give too much away but there will be something else coming up in the next few months, if you want it, that is. Have to say thanks for reading this everyone- especially my faithful, enthusiastic reviewers who scare me a lot. Love ya all.

'The truth spell?!' Prue burst out.

'Scared, Prue?' Paige asked.

'Yes.'

Paige smiled triumphantly. 'And why's that?'

She cringed even as she answered; 'I don't want Piper finding out the truth.'

That made Piper alert. 'Why me?'

'I don't want you thinking less of me.'

'Prue, why would I?'

'Because I did it to hurt Paige,' she admitted.

Maddy stepped further into the room. 'You were just trying to split us up, right?'

'No,' Prue surprised her. 'I kind of wanted to see if it was as good as I remembered.'

'Mom, Dad,' Chris whispered. 'Let's get out of here.'

As they disappeared down the stairs with the boys in their arms, Maddy turned back to Prue. 'You weren't just doing it out of spite?'

'Well, no. Did you think I was that bad?'

'Yes,' Paige and Maddy answered in unison then exchanged a look.

'What did I ever do to you, Prue?' Paige questioned.

'Took my place.'

'Yeah, like I could.'

'You being here means that they don't care I'm not.'

'Like hell it does! Whether they think they're doing it or not, I'm always getting compared to the saintly Prue.'

'I was never saintly.'

'Why couldn't you tell them that?' Paige complained.

Prue smiled. 'I had a reputation to keep up.'

'You couldn't have taken it with you?'

Maddy raised an eyebrow. 'You two wouldn't be finding some common ground, would you?'

The truth spell was obviously difficult to beat as they both clamped their mouths shut. Just what was she going to do with them?

'I need to ask you something,' Paige took a deep breath.

'Who?' Maddy bit her lip.

'Well, both of you, I guess.'

'Go on,' Prue said.

'Prue, do you think we could be friends at all?'

'We're too alike to hate each other.'

'Who told you that?'

'I did,' Maddy confessed. 'What did you want to ask me?'

'Who do you want to be with, me or Prue?'

'You,' she said instantly.

Prue looked to Paige. 'That good enough?'

'Yeah, I think it might be.'

'I don't want to say goodbye,' Piper hugged her sister.

'Oh, come on. Goodbye's never final, you know that,' Prue answered.

'Yeah, not here,' Phoebe agreed. 'Hey, it's nice to know we can still talk.'

'I'm sorry about you and Jason.'

'It might be for the best,' Phoebe said then shrugged. 'Hmm, truth spell.'
